169D Revision, or withdrawal of approval, of diving project plan

(1) An approved diving project plan for a diving project must be revised if: (a) a modification, or proposed modification, of the diving project significantly increases the overall risk, or a specific risk, of a diving operation included in the project; or (b) the plan no longer meets the requirements of regulation 169C.

Note: An approved diving project plan for a diving project may cease to meet the requirements of paragraph 169C(1)(j) because of a change in the accepted DSMS that covers the project or in the management plan for the OEI licence connected with the project.

(2) The OEI licence holder that has approved a diving project plan for a diving project must withdraw the approval as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware that there has been a failure to revise the plan as required by subregulation (1).

Note: Section 12F of the Act provides that strict liability applies to each physical element of each offence under the Act, unless otherwise stated. The reference in section 12F of the Act includes these Regulations.

Penalty: The tier D monetary penalty.
